"Mr President, I would like to have voted with the junior hospital doctors of Europe in their call in relation to inactive on-call time.
However, I had to abstain. I am only too aware of the effect which the counting of all on-call time as working time will have on services, especially care services to the elderly, people with disabilities, children and other vulnerable groups.
The effect on some services, especially in a time of budget constraints, will be to double the costs and therefore halve the service and make other services impossible to deliver. Think, for example, of house parents in group homes, or weekend in-house respite for carers.
In focusing on doctors, who have a valid complaint, we have missed some of the situations where continuity of personnel – as with foster parents – is the most important factor in the job. We need to find a way to protect workers and to protect the vulnerable as well."@en1
